UNSPSC 12361501 1-phenyl-2-propanone (Commodity) does not correspond to the pharmaceutical and medical supply goods and services actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—including prescription drug supplies for police departments, naloxone and opioid-crisis services, emergency medical supplies for fire and EMS operations, and pharmacy benefit management—reflect mainstream pharmaceutical procurement, medical device distribution, and healthcare services contracting, not the specific chemical compound the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being used as a catch-all for pharmaceutical-adjacent procurements without precision.

The issuing bodies include municipal police and fire departments (City of Detroit, City of Tucson), county EMS and fire operations (Forsyth County Georgia, Williamson County Texas, Seminole County Florida), state universities (University of Georgia), healthcare plans (Inland Empire Health Plan in San Bernardino County), and city planning consultants (City of Rio Rancho). Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Florida, Arizona, California, and Michigan, with Georgia and Texas each showing multiple active solicitations. Representative recent procurements include the City of Detroit Police Department's RFQ for prescription drug supplies due October 9, 2026 (with Detroit-based and small-business set-asides under municipal code); the University of Georgia's RFQ for naloxone delivery due September 11, 2026; the City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and vending machines due June 24, 2026 (federally funded through ARPA, HUD, and FTA with Davis-Bacon and Section 3 compliance); and Williamson County Texas's IFB for EMS medical and pharmaceutical items due August 4, 2026. The code shows active procurement volume across emergency response and public health functions, but vendors should verify scope alignment with the issuing agency's notice language before investing in pursuit.
